About
Welcome to The Missing Lokness!
You might be wondering about the name. My nickname is Lokness. It’s inspired by the legendary Loch Ness Monster. Just like people have spent years searching for proof of its existence, consider this your invitation to follow along and discover what I, Lokness, have been up to.

I was born and raised in Hong Kong and moved to Los Angeles in 2002 for college. Over twenty years later, this city still has my heart. Los Angeles is endlessly diverse: one moment you’re in Chinatown, the next you’re exploring Little Ethiopia or grabbing tacos in East LA. That mix of cultures, flavors, and stories is what makes this city so special to me. I share this life with my wonderful husband, Bryan.

Food has always been at the center of everything I do. I love to eat, adventurously and without hesitation, whether it’s a hole-in-the-wall noodle shop or a home-cooked meal from scratch. Cooking became a necessity when I moved away from Hong Kong and missed the flavors of home, but it quickly grew into a passion. These days, you’ll find me in the kitchen experimenting with recipes from all kinds of cuisines, and exploring Southern California whenever I get the chance.
On this blog, I share recipes that I love and travels that have inspired me. I hope something here makes you hungry, sparks your curiosity, or simply makes you smile. Welcome, and I’m so glad you’re here!
I’d love to hear from you! The best ways to reach me are to leave a comment on a post, send me an email at lokness@ymail.com, or connect with me on social media. I always love hearing from fellow food lovers and travelers!
